Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Did it unlock facing away from the car? From what I've read online these cars do have a radio frequency receiver located behind the passenger airbag.

      I can face it in any direction, I can be in the house with the car in the drive 20 mtrs away & it works.

        I ended up buying a remote that is radio frequency but can't get it to work.
        Please take a look at my photo and let me know if it matches what yours looks like.

            Update:
            I have got remote locking to work and the remote I got was indeed the correct one for the cupra. Thanks Phil!
            Turns out these cars do have a radio frequency receiver unit located behind/above the passenger airbag and mine was simply unplugged.


            To program remote to the car
            1. Key in ignition turn to red lights for less than 5 seconds.
            2. Ignition off and take key out.
            3. Press and hold the lock button then press unlock button 3 times then let go of lock button.
            If successful indicator lights will flash and doors will lock/unlock
